HEADLINE: Reconcile and refresh the Debian Wiki
DESCRIPTION: The wiki is frequently stale or incomplete. A lot of people get information much more readily out of a wiki than mailing lists. Like me, for example :) Mailing lists have a very high latency (often infinite) and can be difficult to search.
For example, say you want to host your own apt repo to hold a custom package; this page is not very clear https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/Setup https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/Setup - how do you choose which of all the software types to use? It's a reasonable software overview, but not great to help people get a repo set up.
Arch has a fantastic wiki that's clear and concise. It's also more readable (mediawiki) than Debian format, though I understand Debian aims to work as bare html for greater device compatibility.
DISTRIBUTION: Primarily Stable, with later sections for non-stable if needed.
ROLE: sysadmin
